Re: [AlternativeAnswers] pain medication

Mercurius - I wanted to thank you for your information about TCM
acupuncture when I was asking for my back pain. I have had 3 visits
so far in the last 2 weeks, and it is truly amazing. It's the only
thing I have tried (chiropractor, osteopath, physiotherapy and a
ridiculous volume of useless analgesics plied by the GP). I'm going
to have her work on other things (I have several chronic health
issues ongoing) when she's done with my back.

Kind regards
Andrea
